Oceanside - AAAAAAH!


    The weather is lovely, the company has been wonderful (Ron and Deb from Phoenix) and the produce is abundant and inexpensive.  Ahhhh.  Kick back and take yer shoes off.

Torrey Pines Golf Course looking out to sea.  Almost makes you want to take up golf.
Winery hopping in Temecula.  I was DD, but tasted just a little bit.



































And finally the ocean, and my Don King hair.  I need a cut.  Know someone in Oceanside?

Party Time

Mike's retirement party was a great success.  We started at 4:00 pm and didn't finish until after 11.  That's pretty late for the "old" folks.  It was fun to see all the band guys that have retired through the years.  I wish I could have recorded the stories they told.  Makes me remember why I joined the band in the first place.  Mike got invited to a couple of gigs, so his idea of never playing again got shot down completely.  
Mike and Garry shoot the breeze.



Larry, Jan and Pres hang out with... their wives!

Patti, Kaye, Mark and wife visit on the patio.

Dave, Mike, Stephanie, Bob, Randy and Melanie enjoy Carino's Italian.

Kiddos play blocks and trucks.

Kimmi and Lucas entertain Lincoln friends Joan, Barb, and Jen.

Richard and Mary visit with Bob.

Julianne relaxes with Lincoln colleagues Deonne, Barb and Joan along with Jen, and Dean.

Lucas kicks back with Taylor and Matt (Julie, where did you go?)

Amy created a masterpiece from the old band fridge.
